Design Wall Monday 10/17/11


Another step done on the Christmas quilt, yay!  I just made some hst's to add for a border.  Unfortunately, they didn't come out the right size, so I'll have to do an "adjustment" border.  Do I need another outer border?

And I made several more blocks for the Fiesta! quilt.  These are just on the design wall for the picture, they're in no particular order.  Looks like it's going a little purple, need to add some other colors.  The photo really doesn't show the colors all that well.  Maybe next shot, when I add more :-)

Go to Judy's blog for more works in progress, designs on the wall, and great ideas! http://www.patchworktimes.com/2011/10/17/design-wall-monday-9/

Beautiful weather on the Plateau right now, getting pretty warm today, about 79 degrees!!  But starting Wed night it will be in the 30s at night, and only in the 40s during the day.  After the front passes through, it will be sunny, which is perfect weather, as far as I'm concerned!

  1. Great job on the Christmas Quilt...I'm thinking no on another border. I'd be a afraid it would take away from it. Fiesta quilt blocks are looking great too. Very nice job!

  2. Love the borders on the Christmas quilt. I too don't think you need another border. Looking really great.

    Your sampler quilt has some amazing blocks too. Purple is my favorite color.

  5. Both look beautiful. I am new to your blog and really like what you're doing with the fiestaquilt. Would have never thought of mixing those NYB-blocks with other blocks. Really like the outcome though!

  7. I think your Christmas quilt will be just fine without an outer border. I love your fiesta quilt blocks. It's hard to have too much purple for my tastes.

  9. I really like your Christmas quilt, the red plaid looks great. I probably wouldn't add another border, especially if you are binding it with a\the red fabric.
